Tucson Audubon Society

In May 2012, the third installment of the Madrean Archipelago conference assembled the current state of our knowledge about the unique natural and cultural resources of the Madrean region and continued the discussion of management practices useful for maintaining those resources with 24 sponsoring organizations. It brought together researchers, partners in resource stewardship, land managers, educators and students, government officials, consultants, and the interested public from both sides of the border to examine the Madrean Archipelago of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. The conference was an opportunity to achieve more collaboration through discussion of active projects and future research and management needs. There were 151 presentations and posters. There were the eleven bird related topics.

The National Audubon Society has conducted Christmas bird counts since 1900. Volunteers from across North America and beyond take to the field during one calendar day between December 14 and January 5 to record every bird species and individual bird encountered within a designated 15-mile diameter circle.

Tucson Audubon wants to bring birding to the masses by encouraging people to start birding walks in the urban area. We hope to expand this program to other urban locations as well. To start an urban bird walk near your neighborhood, or to volunteer to lead an urban bird walk, contact Kendall Kroesen, 206-9900.

 

Here are organizations that support Tucson Audubon as Birds & Business Alliance Members. These businesses are partners in our efforts to serve the community through conservation, education, and recreational programs. Please take a look at what they have to offer in their international birding tours lead by expert guides!
